| Some of life’s best quotes and sayings: Posted: 8/24/2006 4:21:28 PM | "I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong... I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can tell. It doesn't frighten me."
Feynman, Richard, quoted in Gleick, Genius: The life & Science of Richard Feynman, p. 438 | |

| Some of life’s best quotes and sayings: Posted: 8/25/2006 7:47:27 PM | The truth is, we hide so we can be found. We walk away to see who will follow. We cry to see who will wipe away our tears. We let our hearts get broken to see who will come and fix them.
My head is saying 'who cares about him?' but my heart is saying 'i do.'
Push me up against the wall and kiss me with no intention of ever stopping.
It all comes down to that last person you think about before you fall asleep.
You wanna see how much i love you? Go outside when its raining and catch drops on your tounge. The ones you catch are how much you love me, the ones you miss is how much i love you.

| Some of life’s best quotes and sayings: Posted: 8/27/2006 10:26:34 PM | Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams .

The Rose that grew from Concrete.
The Rose that Grew from Concrete Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.
